This time I'll try and see if a diagram of this helps you see the reality of these figures a lot more clearly.
On a maths x axis it would look like this:
<----------------------------------->
-31726 0 +23858
The absolute value is : 55584 •It's pretty bloody awful news for a small economy like Victoria.
Now add this new development to the equation (you're all effectively muzzled and have the right to remain silent now).

Lisa, you added a positive number and a negative number together.
<----------------------------------->
-31726 0 +23858
The absolute value is : 55584
31726 + 23858 = 55584
This is not how you establish the "absolute value"
This is very, very amusing.
What you do is subtract the negative from the positive:
23,858 - 31,726 = -7,868
This has already been explained to you several times by several different posters. The fact that you're flailing around like a banshee about year 12 absolute values just makes you look even stupider.
